The Kooks: Bringen die Wahrheit ans Licht

Wie jetzt Luke Pritchard in einem Interview erzählte, waren Drogenprobleme verantwortlich für den Rauswurf von Bassist Max Rafferty. Dieser hat bisher über die Gründe, die zu seiner Entlassung im Januar führten, geschwiegen. Gegenüber Orange gab Pritchard folgendes zu Wort:

"Max was in and out for a long time and we kind of made the decision that we wanted to carry on without him. Things got a bit much for him I think."

"He was struggling [with] various issues [including] his anxieties and taking drugs probably a lot more than he should have been doing or wanted to be doing."

"Not to get some fucking violin out, but it can be really difficult being in a band, especially when you're like that. Max is the greatest guy in the world but he just didn't really know how to stop."

The Kooks veröffentlichen kommenden Montag, das mit Spannung erwartete zweite Album „Konk“. Das Video zur ersten Single „Always Where I Nedd To Be“ gibt’s hier:
